Boycott US
Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

That's kind of derailing. Nobody is downplaying that (except the racists who are are perpetuating the problem, but they're okay with this too). Most people here have probably also been speaking out against all the violence against POC.
If someone commented on a post about a POC being murdered by cops/ICE, and said "but what about the white people they killed," you would call that derailing. And that's exactly what you're doing here.
You're downplaying the tragedy that is the implicit topic of this current post, which is the woman who was recently murdered by ICE in Minneapolis. You apparently don't care about this event, because the victim was white, and you're arguing that we should ignore it simply because she wasn't a POC.
Yes, exactly, so why are you taking issue with people doing just that?
